BBQ on the River Friday Night!

This was a lot of fun!  YOU picked our set list on twitter and facebook,  for BBQ on the River Friday night in Paducah, KY and which guitar I wold play!  Here's the results:

By a margin of one vote, I will play the Blonde Stratocaster Friday night, although I'll break out the telecaster, should I break a sting. It'll be the backup. Col JD Wilkes, an original member of 61 South is schedule to play with us, and Martin "Big Larry" Albritton, former lead singer of the Chicago Rhythm and Blues Players and Mellow Fellows is scheduled to sing with us for at least a couple of songs.






Setlist, top vote getters,  in no particular order, goes like this:

Waffle House Woman
I Been Cheated
Show Me
The Blues Is My Business
Pride and Joy
Tattoo Blues
Mustang Sally, to be sung by Martin "Big Larry" Albritton
Hip Shake
Got My Mojo Workin
Feels Like Rain

Thanks to all!  You can follow o Twitter on

YOU Make Out OUR Setlist Friday Night

We're doing something fun for BBQ on the River! We'll play Friday night at 5:30 on the main stage.  We want YOU to help make out our set list for our show!  Of course, I haven't used a set list for a show in about 15 years, but I will this time, depending on what you want to hear! 

Just let us know on our facebook page for 61 South or my facebook page or tweet us at @Lew_Jetton or @61_South !  We'll tally up the votes and write down the set list, then play it back Friday Night frmo the main stage at the BBQ on the River!  While you're there be sure to enjoy the BBQ! The sale of the BBQ benefits local charities, and have a cold one in the Beer Garden, directly across from the stage! It benefits the Paducah Symphony! In fact, you can "adopt a keg" for the Paducah Symphony and help them, while getting cool beer glasses and beer tickets! It's all good fun, for VERY good causes!

Want Us To Play For YOU?

We're often asked about playing private parties and festivals, but so often, we're asked a month or so ahead of time and there's no way we can work it into our schedule.  By design, we simply don't play a high number of shows and we stay booked 6 to 12 months in advance, SO if you'd like to talk to us about playing your festival, club or private party, it's best to contact us as soon as possible! For example, if you think you might want us to play an event in 2013....it's best to contact us NOW!  Here's our current schedule.

We're already booking for 2013 and will probably have the year booked by the end of February, so by all means.... let us know if you're interested, so we can reserve the date.  We'd LOVE to play for you but simply cannot honor all requests! For booking email at booking@61south.com or call (270) 519-1788.

Thanks so much and Happy 2013!!! (I know...it's a little early)
